All Reviews for 浮潛（シュノーケリング）

The snorkeling was amazing! The staff, the weather, and everyone who participated were all great. I would like to join again. Thank you! ^ ^

シュノーケル最高でした！
スタッフさん、天気、一緒に参加した方々、全て良かったです。
また、参加したいと思っています。
ありがとうございました^ ^

You can swim with turtles!
This time, I participated in the SUP & Sea Turtle Snorkeling one-day course. One thing I regret is that I thought I would wear a wetsuit for SUP, so I didn't bring a rash guard or leggings. It's better to be in a swimsuit even in winter for sunburn and cold protection. Also, if you usually wear glasses, it's a good idea to prepare a float in case they fall off. I hesitated and took off my glasses, but I regret not being able to see the beautiful sea clearly.
Putting preparation aside, the tour itself prioritizes safety and provides easy-to-understand instructions for beginners.
Ingyamarine Garden is a great spot for SUP cruising with no waves. It's interesting to go through rocky areas and over bridges. Some participants even saw rays swimming.
After lunch, we moved to Shigira Beach for snorkeling. I thought there would be turtles in the shallow water during low tide, but the turtles come from the open sea during high tide into the enclosed natural pool, so we aimed to search for them there. We swam about 200-300 meters towards the rocks and coral, but those who couldn't swim could hold onto a float while the instructor guided them. We encountered colorful fish and even Nemo. Among us, one participant spotted a turtle. When we chased it, we encountered a leisurely swimming green sea turtle and swam together for about 15 minutes. It didn't seem scared of us or try to escape.
The instructor took many photos, so if you're worried about losing your camera, you don't need to bring one. They will send the photos later via LINE.
The chance of encountering a turtle was 30%, but we were lucky.
It became an experience that we can cherish and talk about forever.

カメと泳げます！
今回、SUP&海カメスノーケル1日コースに参加。私の準備不足だったことは、SUPの時にウェットスーツを着るものと思い、ラッシュやスパッツを持たなかったこと。SUPは冬でも水着のままなので日焼けや寒さ対策はした方がいい。また、普段メガネの方は落ちた時のことを考えてフロートを準備した方がいい。迷ってメガネを外したものの、綺麗な海を鮮明に見ることが出来なかったことは後悔あり。
準備はさておき、ツアーそのものは安全を第一に初心者にもわかりやすくレクチャーしてくれます。
インギャーマリンガーデンは波もなくSUPクルーズに良い場所。岩場を抜けたり橋を超えたり、面白いと思います。参加者の中にはエイが泳いでいるのを見た人もいました。
お昼を挟んでシギラビーチにシュノーケルのため移動。干潮で浅瀬にカメがいるのかと思ったら、満潮時に外洋から入ってきた亀が閉ざされた天然プールの海にいるので、そこを狙って探すというもの。200-300メートル泳いで岩場や珊瑚に向かいますが、泳げない人はフロートに捕まりインストラクターが誘導してくれます。カラフルな魚やニモにも会えます。そんな中、参加者の一人が亀を目撃。追いかけるとゆったりのんびり泳ぐ青海亀に遭遇。15分ほど一緒に泳ぎました。人を怖かったり逃げたりもしません。
インストラクターさんが写真をたくさん撮ってくれるので、カメラ紛失の不安がある方は持たなくても大丈夫。後にLINEで送ってくれます。
亀遭遇率30%の確率でしたが、私達はラッキーでした。
いつまでも思い出を語り継げる体験となりました。

In mid-February, the waves were rough, and due to the weather and the morning time, the sun was hidden by clouds, making it even colder... I started with a feeling of anxiety, wondering if I would be able to see a sea turtle.

Even though it was cold in the water, I kept moving my legs, which made it more bearable. After swimming a bit, I didn't see any sea turtles, but the coral reefs and the small, colorful fish swarming around them were so beautiful that I forgot about the cold and the turtles, and I was captivated. I felt that this experience was worth it just for that.

Thanks to the guide's experience and intuition, while swimming and changing course, we encountered a large sea turtle swimming gracefully! It was eating algae on the coral reef, and I was able to get close enough to observe it closely. It was so moving that I wanted to keep watching it and forget the time.

That day, we encountered two turtles, which was a bit fewer than expected, but I was able to take my time and observe them closely, and seeing both large and small sizes was interesting as I could understand the differences!

I highly recommend this as one of the activities you must experience when visiting Miyako Island!

2月の中旬で波は荒め、天候と午前中ということもあり、太陽が雲に隠れているので、余計に寒い。。。ウミガメに会えるかなと不安な気持ちでスタートしました。

海に入っても寒いことは寒いのですが、終始足をバタバタ動かしているのでまだマシです。少し泳いで、ウミガメはいないのですが、珊瑚礁、珊瑚礁に群がる小さくてカラフルなお魚がとても美しくて、寒さもウミガメのことも忘れて笑、見惚れるほどでした。これだけでも、体験した甲斐があると思いました。

ガイドさんの経験と嗅覚？で、進路変更しながら泳いでいると、大きなウミガメが優雅に泳いでいるところに遭遇！珊瑚礁につく藻などを食べているところでしたが、触れそうなほど近くまで行き、その様子をじっくりと見ることができました。時を忘れてずっと見ていたいほどの感動でした。

その日は2匹の遭遇と、数としては少なめでしたが、時間をかけてじっくり見れたのと、大小の2種類のサイズで見れたので違いも分かって興味深かったです！

宮古島に訪れた際には、必ず体験してほしいアクティビティのひとつとしてオススメします＾＾

We participated as a pair. The day before was cloudy, but today it was nice and sunny from the morning. We started from a calm spot near the sea, and depending on the weather, we went out to the sea along the way. I liked the green color of the water. There is always an instructor present, so it's a safe optional tour. The meeting parking lot is small, so I think it's better to arrive early. Also, there is about a two-hour gap between the morning and afternoon tours. Since there is time for lunch, I think it's a good idea to check for places to eat in advance.

2人で参加しました。前の日は、曇りでしたが、今日は、朝から晴れで良かったです。海の近くの穏やかな所からスタート、天気次第で途中は海に出ます。海の色が、グリーンなのが良かったです。常時インストラクターが付いているので安全なオプショナルツアーです。待ち合わせの駐車場が狭いので、早めに到着するようにした方がいいと思います。それから、午前と午後のツアーの間が２時間くらい空いています。昼食の時間があるので、食べる場所を事前に確認した方が良いと思います。

I participated alone, but I received very kind one-on-one guidance. If I have the opportunity again, I would definitely like to request it!

1人で参加でしたが、マンツーマンでとても親切にガイドしていただきました。また、機会があったら是非お願いしたいと思います!

I was quite anxious since I participated with my mother, who is not a good swimmer, but the guide was kind and led us well! My mother was initially scared, but she gradually became captivated by the beautiful fish of Miyako Island and enjoyed herself. Since we participated in February, it was a bit chilly, but wearing a wetsuit made it especially comfortable during snorkeling. Unfortunately, we didn't see any sea turtles, but it was a wonderful experience to kayak and snorkel in the beautiful waters of Miyako Island.♡

今回、泳ぎが苦手な母との参加だったので不安も大きかったのですがガイドさんが優しく先導してくれました！母も始めは怖がっていましたが徐々に宮古島の綺麗な魚の虜になっていて楽しんでいました。2月での参加だったため少し寒さを感じましたがウェットスーツを着用していたのでシュノーケリング中は特に気になりませんでした。残念ながらウミガメは見られなかったのですが綺麗な宮古島の海でカヌー、シュノーケルが出来て素敵な体験になりました♡

We participated as a pair. Since it was our first time doing marine sports, we decided to go for a full-day plan. I was worried because my companion wasn't a strong swimmer, but the guide adjusted the pace to match our comfort levels, which made us feel very secure.

In the morning, we went snorkeling at Shigira Beach, and in the afternoon, we enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding at Imugya Marine Garden.

Due to certain circumstances, we couldn't use a rental car and took a taxi instead, but the guide was kind enough to arrange transportation to a recommended lunch spot (transportation fee: 1,000 yen). Since there was no place to change clothes or kill time before the afternoon marine sports, I recommend going by rental car.

Although the main guides were different in the morning and afternoon, both were very kind and took many photos that we, as beginners in marine sports, would not have been able to capture ourselves, creating memorable experiences. Thank you very much!

2人で参加しました。
マリンスポーツが初めてだった為、せっかく体験するならと1日のプランにしました。連れが泳ぎが得意ではなかったので心配してましたが、お互いの調子に合わせてガイドの方も進めてくださりとても安心しました。
午前にシギラビーチでシュノーケリング、午後はイムギャーマリンガーデンでSAPを楽しみました。

事情がありレンタカーが使えずタクシーで向かったのですが、ガイドの方がオススメのランチの場所まで送迎もお願いできました。(送迎代1,000円)
午後のマリンスポーツまでの時間を潰す事や、着替える場所などもない為、レンタカーで行く事をオススメします。

午前、午後でメインのガイドの方は違いましたがどちらの方もとても親切でマリンスポーツ初心者の私達では撮れない写真もたくさん撮ってくださり思い出に残る体験ができました。本当にありがとうございました！

I made a reservation the day before, and the shop staff was very quick to respond, which made me feel very reassured for the day of the activity.

We started with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). It was my first time, but the staff member Gori explained everything carefully, and I was able to go at my own pace, which was great! They helped me in any tricky spots, and I had a lot of fun.

During snorkeling, the support from the two staff members was excellent. I was very satisfied to see two sea turtles! They also provided explanations about the fish each time, which was very informative.

I participated in late January, and it was completely fine to get into the sea!

If I come to Miyako Island again, I would definitely like to use this service!

前日に予約しましたが、ショップの方の対応が早くとても安心して当日を迎えられました。

最初はSUPからでした。
初めてでしたが、スタッフのゴリちゃんが一つ一つ丁寧に説明してくださり、個人のペースでゆっくり行えたのが良かったです！
危ないところは手助けして下さり、とても楽しめました。

シュノーケルでは、スタッフ2名体制の手厚いサポートをして下さりました。
ウミガメも2匹見られて大満足です！
その都度お魚の説明も教えてくださってタメになりました。

今回は１月後半の参加でしたが、全然余裕で海入れます！

また宮古島に来たら、ぜひ利用したいです！

In the morning, I did SUP at Ingyā. In the afternoon, I went on a snorkeling tour at Shigira. Although it was unfortunately cloudy, I was able to enjoy the day. Both the SUP and snorkeling were about an hour each, and I had a relaxing time. For the SUP, they were particular about taking photos, and I received some great commemorative pictures from good angles. Although I didn't see any sea turtles while snorkeling, the explanations about the fish were enjoyable. There were some first-timers in snorkeling, but the guide always prioritized safety, so I recommend it for those trying snorkeling for the first time! After snorkeling, the sun started to peek through the clouds, and it was nice to see a bit of sunshine even in January. Next time, I plan to do sunset SUP. Thank you!

午前はインギャーでSUP。午後はシギラでシュノーケリングのツアーでした。
あいにくの曇り空でしたが、１日楽しむことができました。SUPもシュノーケリングもそれぞれ１時間程度でしたが、のんびり楽しむことができました。SUPは、写真にこだわって頂き、いいアングルでの記念写真を頂きました。シュノーケリングは、ウミガメには会えないものの、魚の説明など楽しめた内容でした。シュノーケリングが初めての方もいましたが、常にガイドが安全を考慮されていましたので、初めてシュノーケリングの方にはおすすめです！
シュノーケリングのあとで、薄日がさしてきて、1月でも少し太陽が見えたのがよかったかなー。
次回はサンセットSUPをしようと思います。ありがとうございました！

I participated in a half-day tour with a friend in the morning. We received a pre-tour notification the day before, so we were able to attend without any worries.

We started with SUP (stand-up paddleboarding). It was my first time trying it, but the instructor gave us careful advice, and I was able to move forward! The view of the sea while standing on the board was beautiful. The guide explained various points, which doubled the enjoyment.

After about an hour and a half of that, we moved to Shigira Beach for a snorkeling experience. Since it was mid-January, I was worried about the cold, but I had no problems getting into the water. The guide provided thorough explanations and checked our breathing.

I was truly amazed by how clear the water was! For snorkeling, we had two guides who helped us look for sea turtles, and we actually encountered one and even took pictures together. We also saw clownfish and coral, which made me very satisfied.

With such kind guides, this became my best memory in Miyako Island. Thank you!

友人と2人で午前だけの半日ツアーに参加しました。
前日に事前連絡もいただき、不安なく当日を迎えました。
最初にSUPからスタート。
わたしは初めてチャレンジしましたが、丁寧にアドバイスしてくださり、前に進むことができるようになりました！ボードの上に立ってみる海はとても綺麗です。
いろんなポイントでガイドの方が説明してくれるので楽しみが倍増しました。
1時間半ほど堪能したあと、場所を変えてシギラビーチに移動してシュノーケリング体験に移りました。
1月半ばだったので寒さが不安でしたが、まったく問題なく海に入れました。
ここでもガイドの方がしっかり説明、呼吸の確認等してくれます。
海が本当に透明なことにほんとに感動しました！
シュノーケリングはガイドの方が2名になり、海亀を探してくださり、なんとほんとに遭遇して写真まで一緒に撮れました。
その後もクマノミや珊瑚も見れて大満足でした。
親切なガイドで宮古島で1番いい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました！

I checked the weather forecast and thought it might be a good idea, so I quickly booked a kayak tour.

Even though it was January, we were blessed with sunny weather and a temperature of 25°C, making it a pleasant experience to paddle the kayak.

Kabira Bay is not just for looking; you have to immerse yourself in the sea! (laughs)

The staff were friendly, and it turned out to be a happy holiday.

天気予報を見て、これはいけるかもと思い立ち、急遽予約したカヤックツアー。

1月とはいえ気温25℃の晴天に恵まれ、気持ちよくカヤックを漕ぐことができました。

川平湾は、見るだけじゃなくて海に浸かってなんぼです！笑

スタッフのお兄さんもフレンドリーで、ハッピーな休日になりました。

First of all, the instructor, Matsuura, was truly a wonderful person. Honestly, by the time I was listening to the explanation and getting ready to enter the sea, I felt that even if I didn't see a sea turtle, I wouldn't have any regrets.

And on the day itself, I encountered a turtle in less than five minutes after entering the water!! It was an incredibly quick encounter that is usually unheard of, but it was a great relief for my wife, who gets seasick. We took a lot of photos and were absolutely, overwhelmingly satisfied.

I chose to wear a wetsuit, and even in December, it was not cold at all. The weather was nice, around 25 degrees, and it felt great to be in the water.

If you're interested in sea turtles, I highly recommend it.

まずインストラクターの松浦さんが本当に気持ちの良い方で、正直説明を聞いて海に入る段階で、もしウミガメが見れなくても悔いのない気持ちになりました。

そして当日は海に入って5分もしないでカメに出会えました！！通常ではありえないくらいの早さでの遭遇だったが、海酔いする妻には有難い限り。
たくさん写真を撮ってもらって大大大満足でした。
ウェットスーツ着用を選んで、12月でも全く寒くなく、当日は天気も良く25度くらいで海に入れて気持ちよかったです。

ウミガメに興味あるなら、本当におすすめです。

I booked this plan for a short two-night trip, allowing for half a day of SUP and snorkeling. In the morning, I enjoyed a leisurely breakfast buffet at the hotel before the afternoon tour. My first experience with SUP was great, as the instructor was friendly and made it enjoyable. The snorkeling was also very safe, with the staff providing detailed support. They took plenty of photos, making it a memorable experience.

2泊という短い旅行のため、半日でSUPとシュノーケルが出来るこちらのプランを予約。
朝はホテルのモーニングビュッフェを食べてのんびり過ごして、午後からのツアーでした。
初のSUPはインストラクターの方もフレンドリーで、一緒に楽しめました。
シュノーケルも安全第一でスタッフの方が細やかにサポート。
写真もたくさん撮っていただいて、思い出に残る体験が出来ました。

I went to Ishigaki Island for Christmas. I wanted to do stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling, but due to strong winds, we switched to canoeing on the Miyara River.

The tour guide was kind and shared many attractions of Ishigaki Island! I originally planned to rent a wetsuit, so I didn't bring clothes that could get wet from Tokyo, but I bought a raincoat for about 100 yen on-site. The canoe's seat has holes, so your bottom will definitely get wet! However, thanks to the raincoat, I stayed completely dry! There are splashes while paddling, so placing a towel under my knees solved the problem!

By the way, everyone else was dressed in rash guards and shorts.

They take photos for you, but I recommend bringing your own phone as well. There's a risk of dropping it, and since the Miyara River is murky, it's better to keep your phone on your shoulder! If you lose it, it might be hard to find...

By the way, participating in the summer is said to be terrible due to the smell from cow dung flowing in and the extreme heat...

クリスマスに石垣島へ
サップとシュノーケルをしたかったのですが、強風のため宮良川で出来るカヌーへ変更

添乗員さんは優しく、石垣島の魅力を沢山教えてくださいました！
元々はウエットスーツをレンタルする予定だったので、濡れても良い服を東京から持って行かなかったのですが、現地で100円ぐらいのレインコートを買って参戦。
カヌーの座面は穴が空いてるので、お尻は必ず濡れるんですね！でも、レインコートのおかげで全く濡れず！漕いでる時の水飛沫があるので、膝下にタオルを置けば問題無し！

ちなみにわ皆さんはラッシュガードの上下と短パンの様な服装でした。

写真を撮って下さいますが、ご自身でも携帯を持っていくことをお勧めします。
落ちる危険性があるのと、宮良川は底が見えない川なので、携帯は肩にかけたほうが良いです！
紛失したら見当たらなさそう、、。


ちなみに夏の参加は、牛のフンが流れるため悪臭が漂い、とんでもなく暑いそうです、、

I was worried about the weather in Okinawa during winter, but fortunately, I was able to enjoy stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and snorkeling in calm waters. The SUP experience while gazing at the vibrant gradient of the sea illuminated by the sunlight was truly beautiful. Additionally, during snorkeling, fish came so close that I could almost reach them, and I was able to spot a sea turtle on the ocean floor, making for a wonderful time.

冬の沖縄ということで天気が心配でしたが、運良く穏やかな海でSUPとシュノーケルができました。太陽の光で色鮮やかな海のグラデーションを眺めながらのSUPは、とてもキレイでした。また、シュノーケルでは手が届きそうなほど近くまで魚が寄ってきたり、海底にウミガメを見かけることができ、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

My children also participated, and the guide was very kind. We were able to take wonderful photos and even encountered sea turtles. It became a memorable event for a lifetime!

子供も参加しましたがガイドさんも親切で、素敵な写真も撮ってもらえ、ウミガメにも遭遇でき、一生の記念となるイベントになりました！

Canoeing and snorkeling were both amazing. Especially since my first snorkeling experience was on a winter rainy day with kids, I felt nervous about getting into the water, but once I put my head under, I couldn't stop laughing. It was incredibly fun and became a cherished memory. The guide was especially kind, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about the ocean, which made it the best experience.

カヌーもシュノーケリングも最高でした。
特に初シュノーケリングが子供連れの冬の雨の日だったので緊張で海に入るのも迷った感じでしたが、海に頭を入れてからすぐ笑いが止まらない状態になったです。すごい楽しく大事な思い出となりました。特にガイドの先生は優しくて専門的で本当に海が好きな方で最高でした。

We participated as a family. Two of us joined this monitor tour, while the other two signed up for the regular tour. We were torn between a half-day tour and a full-day tour with longer activity time, but we chose the full-day tour.

In the morning, we enjoyed canoeing at Imugya Marine Garden. After checking in at the parking lot, we headed to the beach. We were taught how to paddle the canoe and paired up to ride. In the latter part, we were able to see many colorful fish in the area with abundant coral.

In the afternoon, we moved to Shigira Beach for snorkeling. We entered the water hoping to encounter sea turtles. There were many fish, and the water was relatively shallow, allowing us to see them up close. After spotting a clownfish hiding in an anemone, we encountered a sea turtle while returning to the hill, which was a delightful surprise since we didn't think we would see one.

Both in the morning and afternoon, the guides were very kind and always checked on us while leading the tour. If we have another opportunity, we would like to request this tour again.

家族で参加しました。
2人はこちらのモニターツアーで、後2人は通常のツアーで申し込みました。
半日ツアーと迷いましたが、アクティビティの時間が長い1日ツアーにしました。

午前はイムギャーマリンガーデンでカヌーを楽しみました。
駐車場で受付を済ませてビーチに。
カヌーの操船方法を教えてもらい2人一組でカヌーに乗ります。
後半、サンゴの多いエリアではカラフルな魚を多く見ることができました。

午後はシギラビーチへ移動してシュノーケリング。
ウミガメに出会える事を期待して海に入ります。
魚が多く、水深も浅めなのでとても近くで見られます。
イソギンチャクに隠れるカクレクマノミを見た後、丘に戻る途中、お食事中のウミガメに遭遇。
会えないと思っていたので非常に嬉しかったです。

午前も午後もガイドさんたちは非常に親切で、こちらの様子をいつも確認しながらツアーを進めてくれました。
またの機会があれば、こちらでお願いしたいと思います。

It was a cloudy trip to Miyako Island with strong north winds in December. I participated in a tour with my middle school and high school sons! We started with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). It was our first experience, and I was a bit anxious due to the cold, but we received thorough instructions, and my kids and I fell into the sea multiple times, laughing non-stop, which made us forget about the cold. After that, we moved to a different location for snorkeling. Unfortunately, we couldn't see any turtles, possibly because they had gone out to sea with the high tide, but we were able to see clownfish and various colorful tropical fish. They provided detailed explanations and took many photos, making it a memorable experience. I plan to challenge myself again in the summer. I felt safe with the preparations for hot water after coming out of the sea, so I will definitely ask Pipi-san for the next tour!

12月の北風が強く吹く曇りの宮古島旅行になりました。
中学生と高校生の息子と3人でツアーに参加！
まずはSUPから。初めての体験で寒さもあり不安でしたが、丁寧にレクチャーしてもらって、子どもたちも私も何度も海に落ちては笑いが止まらず、寒さは吹き飛びました。その後は場所を移動してシュノーケル。満潮でカメは沖に出て行ってしまったのか？残念ながら会うことはできませんでしたが、クマノミや色とりどりの熱帯魚を見ることが出来ました。詳しい説明付きでサポートしてくれたり、写真もたくさん撮ってもらって、記念に残る体験ができました。次は夏にチャレンジしようと思います。
安全面や海から上がった後のお湯の準備など、安心してお任せ出来たので、次もピピさんにお願いします！

I participated with a friend.
It was my first time snorkeling and wearing a wetsuit!
I heard that the Blue Cave is often closed in December, so we were taken to another location, where we were able to encounter ◯◯◯◯! I really wanted to go to the "Blue Cave" and initially complained about it, but in the end, the judgment of the local professionals was the best! I was full of anxiety, but the staff at IR were very attentive, and we had a great time! The tuna was amazing too! Thank you for all the photos. I hope to do this again! ☺︎

友人とふたり参加。
初シュノーケル＆初ウェットスーツ！
12月冬は青の洞窟閉鎖率高いとのことで、別の場所に案内していただき、◯◯◯◯にも遭遇することができました！「青の洞窟」に行きたく、初めはゴネていましたが笑、やはり現地の‼︎プロの‼︎方の判断がいちばんですね⤴︎不安いっぱいでしたが、IRさんにも丁寧に対応していただき良き時間を過ごすことができました！マグロもサイコーでした！写真も沢山ありがとうございます。また是非よろしくおねがいします☺︎

On a nice day in December, we participated in SUP and snorkeling in the afternoon. It just happened to be only the two of us, but it turned out to be a very supportive and hospitable activity.

First, we did SUP. Although we had some experience, we had a bit of a gap, so we received a lecture on the basic movements and tips tailored to our situation. In the latter part, we were taught some tricks, and we both challenged ourselves and had fun.

After that, we took a short break and changed locations for snorkeling. Thanks to the wetsuits, we were able to swim very comfortably even in the December sea. We found sea turtles with the help of the staff, and we took many photos together.

The explanations about the corals and fish were concise, which was well-balanced. Also, the most important aspect, safety, was given appropriate attention, allowing us to enjoy the activities without any injuries.

Since it was just the two of us, it became a very personalized activity. Thank you, Gori-san, and all the supporting staff. We look forward to seeing you again when we visit Miyako Island!

12月の天候の良い日に午後からSUPとシュノーケリングに参加。たまたま我々2名のみでしたが非常にサポーティブ、かつホスピタリティの高いアクティビティになりました。
まずSUP。我々は経験ありでしたが少しブランクもありましたので基本の動作やコツなどを我々の状況を見ながらレクチャーしてもらいました。後半ではちょっとしたトリックも教えてもらい2人して挑戦して楽しみました。
その後少し休憩&場所を変えてシュノーケリング。ウェットスーツのせいもあってか12月の海でもとても快適に泳ぐことができました。ウミガメも他のスタッフと連携して居場所を見つけてもらい、たくさん一緒に写真を撮ってもらいました。
珊瑚やお魚の説明も簡潔に行ってもらい、バランスが良かったです。
また、一番肝心な安全についても適宜アテンションしていただき、怪我なく楽しく行えたのが1番です。
今回、2名で貸切状態ということもあり至れり尽くせりのアクティビティとなりました。
ゴリさん、そしてサポートの方々、ありがとうございました。また宮古島に行った際にはよろしくお願いします。

This was my fourth time in Ishigaki Island, but it was my first time participating in a tour. I was really looking forward to going to the Blue Cave, so it was disappointing that we couldn't go, but instead, we were taken snorkeling at the beautiful beach of Kabira Bay. My wife, who is not comfortable putting her face in the water, received great support, allowing us to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. I was very moved to see so many beautiful fish. In the afternoon, we experienced SUP, and the wide ocean felt wonderful, allowing us to spend a relaxing time. The transportation was on time, and they shared many stories about the island during the ride. They took many photos during the tour and even gifted us the data, making it a very satisfying experience. I will definitely use this service again when I come back to Ishigaki Island. Thank you very much.

4回目の石垣島でしたが、ツアーに参加したのは初めてでした。今回とても楽しみにしいた青の洞窟に行かれなかったのが残念でしたが、その代わりに川平湾の綺麗なビーチでシュノーケリングに連れていっていただきました。夫婦で参加でしたが、水に顔をつけるのが苦手な妻をしっかりサポートしていただき安心してシュノーケリングができました。綺麗なお魚をたくさん見る事ができてとても感動しました。午後はSUPを体験し、広い海が気持ち良く、ゆったりとした時間を過ごさせていただきました。送迎も時間どおりで、移動中もたくさん島のお話しをしてくださいました。ツアー中にお写真を沢山撮っていただきデータもプレゼントして下さり大満足のツアーでした。また石垣島に来た際は利用させていただきます。ありがとうございました。

On the day of the trip, the waves were high, so we couldn't reach the Blue Cave, but it was great to play with tropical fish near the coral. I started to feel seasick from the waves halfway through, but it turned into a good memory. Thank you to the instructor for kindly guiding us.

当日は波が高く青の洞窟まで行けませんでしたが、手前の珊瑚の所で熱帯魚とたわむれて良かったです。
途中から波に酔って気分が悪くなりましたが、良い思い出になりました。
インストラクターの方も親切に案内して頂き有り難うございました。

I was able to meet a sea turtle and a clownfish (Nemo) during my first snorkeling experience.

I wanted to see a sea turtle, so I made a reservation two nights ago. It seems that due to the weather, the location was changed until the day before, but on this day, we went to Shinjo Beach, where the encounter rate with sea turtles is very high.

Both of us were beginners, but our guide, Matsuura, taught us patiently, so we had a great time snorkeling. After finishing, we exchanged LINE contacts to receive photos. During that time, he also shared tourist information about Miyako Island. Thanks to him, even though we came with no plans, we were able to enjoy a meal at a delicious restaurant.

初めてのシュノーケリングでウミガメとカクレクマノミ（ニモ）に会えました。

ウミガメを見たいと思い、２日前の夜に申し込み。
前日までは天気の都合で別の場所だったようですが、この日はウミガメ遭遇率がとても高いという新城海岸でした。
二人とも初めてでしたが、ガイドの松浦さんが丁寧に教えてくれたので、楽しくシュノーケリングができました。
終了後、写真を送ってもらうためにLINEを交換。その際に宮古島の観光情報を教えて下さいました。おかげで、ノープランで来たのに美味しいお店でご飯を食べられました。

The guide was very cheerful and attentive, making the experience enjoyable throughout, and time flew by. They took a lot of photos for us, and even transferred the data to our smartphones for free, which made us very satisfied. Thank you very much. The cost performance was excellent, and I definitely recommend it!

ガイドさんが非常に明るく丁寧に対応して下さり、終始非常に楽しく、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。写真も沢山撮っていただけて、しかもデータを無料でスマホに転送してもらえ、大満足です。有難うございました。
コスパも最高で、間違いなくオススメです！

Our guide, Matsuura, attended to us and thanks to his thoughtful and gentle words at every moment, even beginners could participate without any anxiety. I was able to meet and swim with the long-awaited sea turtles, and I am incredibly grateful!

On top of that, Matsuura's photography skills are outstanding, and I was even more moved after returning from the sea! He sent us so many wonderful photos that I can't even choose just one.

Not only as a guide but also considering the direction of the sun, the people, and the turtles, Matsuura captured our memories with professional photos. Thank you so much!!!

ガイドの松浦さんがアテンドしてくださいましたが、細やかに優しくその都度言葉がけをしたり教えてくださったおかげで、初心者でも何の不安もなく参加し、そして念願のウミガメさんに会い一緒に泳ぐことができて大感謝です！
その上、松浦さんの写真の腕前がピカイチで海から戻ってからもさらに大感動！！
本当にたくさんのどれも素晴らしくて1枚には選べないくらいの、素敵な写真を送ってくれました。
ガイドだけでなく、太陽の向きや人の向き、カメさんの向きを考えてプロの写真で思い出を残してくれた松浦さん、本当にありがとうございました！！！

Due to the weather, we changed from Shinjo Beach to Shigira Beach. They lent us life jackets and kindly explained how to wear them. Since we entered the sea from a beach where we could stand, it felt safe.

There were many corals and fish in the water, and we occasionally ventured into deeper areas, but thanks to the life jackets, we could enjoy ourselves without worry.

Although we didn't encounter a turtle right away, after changing direction for a while, we spotted a swimming turtle and were thrilled to swim alongside it! When taking photos with the turtle, they made sure to coordinate so that no one else would be in the shot, allowing us to capture wonderful pictures. After the turtles, they took us to see Nemo, and thanks to Matsuura-san and another guide (whose name I forgot, but he was very knowledgeable about turtles), we were able to create the best memories of Miyako Island.

I would love to join this tour again when I visit Miyako Island!

天候により新城海岸からシギラビーチに変更でした。ライフジャケットを貸していただき(ライフジャケットの装着方法も丁寧に教えていただきました)足の付くビーチから海に入るので安心感があります。
海の中は珊瑚や魚がたくさんいて時折こんな深いとこ！まで行ったりしましたがライフジャケットのおかげで安心し楽しめることができました。
カメにすぐには出会えませんでしたが方向を変えしばらくすると泳いでるカメを発見しカメと一緒に泳ぐことができ大感動しました！
カメと写真を撮る際もグループ毎に他の人が入らないようお声掛けの配慮をしていただき素敵な写真を撮っていただきました。カメのあとはニモを見に連れて行ってくださったりと、松浦さん、もう1人のガイドさん(お名前を忘れてしまいましたがカメにとても詳しい方です)お二人のおかげで最高の宮古島の思い出を作る事ができました。
また宮古島に行ったらこのツアーに参加したいです！

The weather was bad, so we couldn't go to the Blue Cave and ended up at Ohsaki Beach, but in the morning, we had a snorkeling course. To be honest, I was scared to snorkel because I couldn't swim, but with encouragement from the guide and my friends, I managed to push through (laughs). Although I was worried about my stamina, I somehow kept up, and after a while, I was able to enjoy the underwater scenery and got absorbed in the beautiful ocean views. Miraculously, I even got to see a sea turtle, and although the weather was cloudy and a bit iffy, I had a great time! I was really healed by the beautiful sea and fish, and I'm glad I had this experience! The guide, a young man and woman, were also kind and took a lot of photos for us, for which I am grateful ❤️.

In the afternoon, we had a SUP course. They mentioned that it might be a bit tough to paddle because of the strong winds, but then the clouds cleared up, and I was really impressed to see a rainbow overhead. I felt so connected to the sky and the horizon, and it was incredibly soothing (^0_0^).

天候が悪く、青の洞窟には行けず大崎ビーチとなりましたが、朝はシュノーケルのコースとなりました。
正直泳げなかったので、シュノーケルやるのに怖じ気づきましたが、ガイドさんと友達に励まし後押しされ、頑張って進めました(笑)体力的に心配はあったものの、なんとかついていって、途中からは海の中を鑑賞するのも余裕が出てきて、海の景色に吸い込まれて楽しめました。ウミガメにも奇跡的に会え、天気は曇りで微妙でしたが、満喫できました〜！
キレイな海と魚に本当に癒されて体験できて良かったです！ガイドのお兄さんとお姉さんも親切でたくさん写真も撮っていただいて感謝です❤️
午後はSUPのコースでした。風が強いため、漕ぐのが少し大変かもというお話でしたが、途中から晴れ間が広がってきたと思ったら頭上に虹がかかっていたのがとても印象的でした。空と水平線の境に自分が重なって、とにかく癒されました(^0_0^)

The weather was bad, and our plans changed. Instead of going to the Blue Cave in the morning, we ended up at Ohsaki Beach (what a shame).

Honestly, I was a bit anxious about snorkeling since I couldn't swim well, and when I first entered the water and put my face in, I felt a little scared. However, with encouragement from the guide and my friends, I managed to push through (laughs).

Although I was worried about my stamina, I somehow kept up, and after a while, I started to enjoy observing the underwater scenery, getting absorbed in the beautiful views. Miraculously, I even got to see a sea turtle! The weather was cloudy and a bit iffy, but I had a great time!

In the afternoon, we had a SUP course at Kabira Bay. They mentioned that it might be a bit tough to paddle because of the strong winds, but then the sun started to break through, and I was really impressed to see a rainbow overhead. I felt so relaxed, merging with the sky and the horizon (^0_0^).

I’m really glad I got to experience the beautiful sea and fish! The guide and his partner were also very kind (I fell off the board a few times, and they helped pull me back up, haha), and I’m grateful for all the photos they took! ❤️

天候が悪く、当初予定と変更。朝シュノーケルのコースとなり、青の洞窟には行けず大崎ビーチとなりました（残念）

午後は川平湾SUPのコースでした。風が強いため、漕ぐのが少し大変かもというお話でしたが、途中から晴れ間が広がってきたと思ったら頭上に虹がかかっていたのがとても印象的でした。空と水平線の境に自分が重なって、とにかく癒されました(^0_0^)

ガイドのお兄さんとお姉さんも親切（途中何回かボードから落ち、最後は引っ張って頂きましたww）でたくさん写真も撮っていただいて感謝です❤️

The snorkeling at the Blue Cave was not possible, so we changed to the coast at Ohsaki. The weather was bad, and I didn't have high expectations, but it was incredibly beautiful. I've seen quite a few places, but this was among the top in terms of beauty, and I was very impressed.

However, during the mangrove tour at Miyara River, the guide kept calling out "Mom! Mom!" I was participating with colleagues from work, and I am not a mother. I had filled out my name and emergency contact information at the beginning, but if they don't check that, what's the point of filling it out? In today's world, there are many different types of couples and families, so I think it's wrong to assume relationships based solely on age differences. This is a basic principle of customer service.

If it were just the snorkeling, I would have been completely satisfied and would give it five stars. Thank you for going out of your way to drop us off at the hotel. However, because the mangrove tour was included, I lowered my rating due to the above issues.

シュノーケルは青の洞窟は出来なくて大崎という海岸に変更。天気悪くあまり期待してなかったのですが、とにかく無茶苦茶綺麗。結構色々みてきましたが、一二を争う綺麗さで大感激でした。
ただ、宮良川のマングローブツアーですが、ガイドの方が「お母さんお母さん！」って。会社の同僚と参加しており私はそもそもお母さんではなく。最初に名前書いたり緊急連絡先住所などの記入をしたのですが、確認しないなら書く必要性が、なんのための記入なんでしょうか、、、。今のご時世、歳の差カップル夫婦など色々な方がいるかとおもいますので年齢差だけで関係性を決めつけるのはダメだと思います。これは、接客の基本だと思います。
シュノーケルだけなら大満足で星は5つ。ホテルまで無理言って送っていただきましてありがとうございました。
マングローブツアーとのセットなので上記の事情により評価下げました。
